Police have released surveillance video showing the moment someone with a BB gun shot two dogs in the backyard of a Florida home, killing one of them.

According to WSVN, Charles Mione returned to his Pembroke Pines home in early December to find 10-year-old Madie, his female golden retriever, dead. Max, his 7-year-old male golden retriever, was injured and is expected to survive.

A surveillance video shows both dogs sleeping on Mione's back patio when something gets their attention.

The video shows Max flinching, then running behind an all-terrain vehicle to hide. Soon after, Maddie is seen being shot as well. She staggers to the side of the house and collapses.

“What do you think I felt when I came home, and I’m looking for my dogs, and I see her on the side of the house in a pool of blood?” Mione said. “It’s really horrific to come home to that.”

Surveillance video from a neighbor's house showed a bald man with a rifle walking away from the scene.

Investigators found steel BB gun pellets were fired at the dogs. Mione’s home is surrounded by a privacy fence, so it is nearly impossible to see the dogs from the outside.

Mione suspects the shooter took issue with the dogs' barking, but police say they never received any complaints about the dogs.

An autopsy found that Maddie had been shot before the incident. Older fragments of pellets were found inside her body.

“She was a great dog,” Mione said. “Very passive, protective. My kids grew up with this dog. It’s just a great loss to my family.”
